today for a common historical classification used certain types of economic systems.This classification is the events of history in the form of a chain.Links are the traditional (pre-industrial) society, industrial and postindustrial society.
The latter term describes the structure, the main role in the production and exchange of knowledge and information, which is owned computers and telecommunications.Industrial society is primarily processed.This system is used to produce goods engine technology and energy.Activities of pre-industrial society is inextricably linked with the loot.The economic system in this case is based on agriculture, fishing, hunting and forestry.Pre-industrial society is also involved in the extraction of gas, oil, coal and other resources.
According to experts, in the traditional socio-economic structure should be assigned any social association of the time of primitive hunters to the industrial revolution in the late 18th century.
pre-industrial society (in economic terms) may be based on agriculture (as the old Russian, ancient Chinese or ancient Egyptian society).This socio-economic structure may be based on animal husbandry (as nomadic Turkic peoples and Khazar).Pre-industrial society can be and fishing.This is typical of coastal areas, extremely rich in fish.
One of the features of traditional society is the rule of the distribution based on social position (redistributive relations).This can be seen various forms: centralized state (as in ancient Egypt, China and Mesopotamia), a peasant community (as in Russia).
should be noted that redistributive relations are not the only sign that characterizes the life of the pre-industrial (traditional) society.Of course, such relationships are dominated, however, with the present and the market.In some cases, markets can even take a leading position, having a significant influence on people's lives.At the same time, trade is reduced to a narrow range of goods, as a rule, to the objects of aristocratic luxury.In the Middle Ages landlords, obtain all necessary on their estates, bought thoroughbred horses, expensive weapons, jewelry.
social side of traditional society also has its own specifics.The most characteristic of such a system is very personal attachment to each redistribution.This is reflected in the accessories of every person to any staff in charge of the distribution, and depending on the "elders" (in position, origin, age).
The transition from one social collective to another is very difficult.Along with this it is of great importance not only to the position of the whole class in the society, but also the fact that the person belongs to one or another group.As an example, you can use the class and caste system of separation.
For example, in India, caste is a closed group of people who engage in certain strictly reserved her place in society.
Life in the structure of class rather strictly regulated.This system of division in society was characteristic of pre-revolutionary Russia.
Another important criterion for the division considered community.Here, this determination is used in the broadest sense.By community is meant not only the peasant associations, but also merchant Union East European guild of merchants, craft shop, and miserable thieving corporations and so on.
State system in a traditional society, as a rule, was monarchical.Even in ancient and medieval times the power was in the hands of the nobility.
